The Chronicle of Teneris

The long, devastating war among wizards that followed the discovery, in 1768 BVD, of a ritual that made its subjects unable to die, and that left the realm's lasting fear of magic.

The imperial decree of 1203 BVD, issued by Emperor Valigard IV after the war of the immortal mages, that binds every mage to the Archon Academy and remains in effect today.

The civil war of 24–27 AVD that followed the assassination of Emperor Vaden I, set the Order of Chain to flight and ended with Elatan I on the throne.

Emperor Conrad II's invasion of the underdark in 151 AVD, also called the Dauntless Crusade, which answered years of drow raids, destroyed three drow cities and earned him the title Conqueror.

The plot of the wizard Gelts in 158 AVD, whose failed attempt on the Emperor's life in the Marble Palace set off a short-lived noble rebellion that hid a personal revenge.

The four years of raids led from 212 AVD by the Fran warlord Skolpa of the White Stag clan, which reached the Great Western Sea before the IV. Legion crushed his army on the border of the free ports.

A shadowy affair of 261 AVD in which the Cult of Void came to light, touching the god of time and the Grand Hourglass; little else about it is known.

The westward voyage of the ship Imperius, 285–289 AVD, led by the Archon wizard Castor Onerio, which found the continent of Canarque that most of the Empire calls the New World.
